Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 553 - 555: Blueprint Leak

It was a pity that Shitou was gone, and otherwise he could have reminded Li Min when she was pregnant. Now, thinking of Shitou, Xia Xiao couldn’t help but sigh deeply in her heart.

"Oh, the baby’s moving," Li Min exclaimed with joy she couldn’t suppress.

Xia Xiao and Ning Hui couldn’t help but place their hands on Li Min’s belly, also clearly feeling the child’s fetal movements, and both burst into excited smiles immediately.

Feiling said, "I want to touch too."

Li Min pulled Feiling’s hand to her belly, and after a while, Feiling felt Li Min’s belly twitch. Her eyes lit up, and she moved her hand to the other side and felt the fetal movement again. Feiling smiled with utter joy, "The little nephew must like his auntie."

"I’m the little aunt, hear that my little nephews? Little aunt," Feiling greeted, patting Li Min’s stomach.

Li Min laughed and said, "We still don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl. It would be nice if it were twins, one of each. Twin auntie, touch more."

At this, Xia Xiao and Ning Hui both laughed.

"Boy or girl, both are good. Just let nature take its course." As for whether it was a grandson or granddaughter in Li Min’s belly, Xia Xiao was easygoing. However, if it were twins, naturally, it couldn’t be better – having both a son and a daughter would complete the word ’good’.

Even though it was now possible to check the gender, Li Min had chosen not to. Nowadays a couple could only have one child, and Li Min was very happy just to know she was having twins. She wasn’t fixated on whether it was a boy or a girl.

As soon as Xia Xiao spoke, Li Min felt somewhat relieved, and a bit worried too. She worried that if she gave birth to a daughter, her mother-in-law might mind.

At noon, Xia Xiao and Feiling both rested at the Li Family’s place. Feiling stayed with Li Min, while Xia Xiao and Ning Hui slept in the guest room.

Ning Hui asked, "Does Feiling have a partner yet?"

Xia Xiao shook her head, "Not yet; this child says she’ll consider it at forty."

Looking at Xia Xiao speechlessly, Ning Hui commented, "You’re too laid-back as a mother." Only Xia Xiao could be so indifferent about telling her daughter to consider the big issues of life at the age of forty.

Xia Xiao just smiled and didn’t say much, but she asked Ning Hui, "Has Jing Yao not returned home yet?"

Although Feiling hadn’t mentioned it, Xia Xiao knew that Feiling hadn’t let go in her heart. If she truly had, she wouldn’t avoid talking about him.

"No, the Jing Family actually wants to arrange a match for him; they’re out of options." With that, Ning Hui snorted, "My goddaughter is so good, and they don’t appreciate it. No matter how good Jing Yao is, the Jing Family isn’t suitable for her. I’ll arrange the best for my goddaughter."

Xia Xiao nodded, "I think the same. It’s just that this child, Feiling, might be trapping herself."

On this point, Ning Hui felt helpless. It wasn’t just the Jing Family; no prominent family would want an actress, a star, or a singer as their daughter-in-law. It was a very realistic problem. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

However, regarding the Jing Family, Ning Hui whispered to Xia Xiao, "They look down on Feiling being an actress, but actually, there’s another reason."

"What reason?" Xia Xiao asked.

"Let’s hope that Feiling can move on. I hope that Feiling finds the right person for her. As for Jing Yao, I also hope he gets married soon."

Xia Xiao did wish that Jing Yao would get married sooner, so her daughter could also give up on him, but she didn’t know where Jing Yao had gone to.

In the afternoon, an urgent phone call came for Xia Xiao. It was from Lu Mingzhu, so Xia Xiao answered it right away.

"Xia Xiao, I’m sorry," Lu Mingzhu apologized with a very heavy voice on the phone.

"What happened?" Xia Xiao asked.

Lu Mingzhu started to sob, "The new designs have been leaked, and they’re already on the market."

Xia Xiao’s face turned stern, and she calmed her mind, "Have you found out who leaked them?"

Xia Xiao frowned, "Never mind that for now. How are you going to handle this? The loss is not small, and you should know, these are Feiling’s designs."

Thinking of Feiling’s ideas and designs being leaked from Jiang Shicheng, Xia Xiao’s face also looked troubled. Although she sympathized with Lu Mingzhu, she partly blamed her as well.

They had collaborated for many years, and this was the first time Lu Mingzhu had made such a major blunder. Xia Xiao sighed and said to Lu Mingzhu, "Deal with your factory’s issues first. I’ll talk to Feiling."

After hanging up, Xia Xiao was about to look for Feiling when Feiling already came running to her, "Mom, Secretary Li just called..."

"I know," Xia Xiao said, massaging her forehead while looking apologetically at Feiling. "There’s been a problem at your Aunt Lu’s."

Feiling furrowed her brow, "Did Aunt Lu call you, Mom? What did she say?"

Xia Xiao briefly recounted what had happened with Lu Mingzhu, and Feiling couldn’t help but curse, "That’s disgusting."

Immediately, Feiling called Xiao Mei. The new designs that Feiling had launched were first sent to Xiao Mei, who had marketed them at Harbor.

At this moment, Feiling was very grateful that Sister Xiao Mei was in Harbor. Without this move, she wouldn’t be able to seek justice. "Mom, don’t worry, I won’t be so foolish. If someone takes my things, I won’t just let it go."

Feiling was indeed very dissatisfied. Anyone who had their carefully thought-out designs leaked would feel the same.

Mother and daughter left the Li Family’s place and rushed to the company, where everyone had already heard about the incident.

The girl who sold the designs then gave the money to her brother for his medical treatment and chose to end her life by suicide. Her will donated her heart to her brother, and regarding the leak of the designs, she only said sorry. She didn’t mention anyone else.

Xia Xiao and Feiling both fell silent. What else could they do? The person was already dead, and it wasn’t possible to take it out on her family. When things like this happened, all they could do was accept it.
